ddo girlfriend....?

[drewrayder]

what would you guys say if you had a woman in your life that just loved ddo to death and loved you playing ddo? with her, without her. hell if she listened to you talk about ddo she would just simply get excited, even turned on. really this topic has me and a friend in debate on it and I wanted to hear guys and gals opinions on the matter.

[LordRavnos]

My wife goes on and off DDO, so I say enjoy the heck out of it if shes like that :) Gamer chicks are hot, even hotter when your married to them/dating them

[Bloodhaven]

SS or it didn't happen

thats a tough question..two options that I see

1)run like hell
2)marry her

not sure which I would choose

[Twerpp]

My girl is into FPS. It's pretty cool but I will trade her in for an MMO girl in a heartbeat if I get the chance.

[h4x0r1f1c]

I'll be your DDO lova'.

[Senshock]

If you find a gamer chick for yourself and she beats you in pvp... does the world explode?

I'm female and I play way too much. Trust me, we get partner aggro from 3am raids as much as you do.

[kittikatgurl]

I agree with that. I had the same with my ex- despite the game being his idea in the first place. Was annoying my PC being in the bedroom, he'd always know what time of the night I was raiding to. Glad not to have that issue anymore.

partner agro is one thing...boyfriend/husband agro is another.

[timetorun177]

partner agro is one thing...boyfriend/husband agro is another.

theyre the same thing im pretty sure...

[Burtle]

Mine's a Facebook (*shudders*) app person... and occasional DDO player..(only cuz I got her into it...:D) although I do shake my head at times wondering what happened to her when she comes up w/ some of the names she does for new toons... hell she has been known to delete one to make a new one..:rolleyes:

[Morningfrost]

what would you guys say if you had a woman in your life that just loved ddo to death and loved you playing ddo?

I'd just bow to my knees and thank God almighty or whatever. What are you complaining about, exactly?

[phalaeo]

partner agro is one thing...boyfriend/husband agro is another.

I said partner only because I hate the words "Baggro" and "Haggro", lol.

My boyfriend plays, but he's not nearly as competitive as I am. Honestly, I wish neither one of use played... would be nice to have a sit-down dinner instead of cramming mouthfuls of food before waiting for Shroud to fill. :rolleyes:

[timetorun177]

lol dream woman

[Kirachan]

I love to play DDO, my boyfriend loves to play DDO. We play nearly every night we don't spend together (and some we do). Isn't it always great to share a hobby?

[Seliana]

I have 5 alts and 4 of those are reincarnated. So I'd say I'm a woman that loves DDO.

Actually, I play DDO with my boyfriend about 7 or more hours a day. Working from home doing phone based tech support certainly has its perks >_>. We are often found leading epics, going raiding, leveling up alts, and farming set bonuses. We play every night on a pair of recliners with 2 pc's sitting about 3 feet away from each other. We also know another couple that does the same thing for several hours a day and we play with them often.

So yes, it does happen. You just gotta be on the cool couples server i suppose, that server being Cannith of course.

As for me, I was into games way before we got together. We met on Xbox live actually, in a match of DOA4 where I was kicking his but repeatedly with Helena. So if I was going to give advice as to where you can find women and form lasting relationships that evolve into a DDO couple situation... I'd point at DOA4 on the XB Live.

I'm probably not the best source for advice though... XD

[wax_on_wax_off]

yep...especially when i lead and shes healing...:)

She was certainly healing something, chicka chick ow!

[Phidius]

I said partner only because I hate the words "Baggro" and "Haggro"...

Besides, "partner" is hotter coming from a girl than from a boy.

[Dozen_Black_Roses]

Hmmm, well assuming no kids involved to wander in the room while this is occurring, I guess enjoy yourselves. Hopefully as they are in the raid the healer role, they let the party they are afk, and the other healer is ok with that, or this is in part one where this is occurring. If not, Im sure they will or have already been added to folks list as a crappy healer. Have fun while it lasts.

I enjoyed the image that partner conjured up more as well.

[sweez]

What's this girlfriend thing you speak of and where can I buy one?

[timetorun177]

What's this girlfriend thing you speak of and where can I buy one?

I heard you get it from your 20th reward on the Real Life raid.

[Thar]

thats a tough question..two options that I see

1)run like hell
2)marry her

not sure which I would choose

lol, nice

Whats worse is she could be better than you are at pvp. lol

[Logicman69]

I'm actually glad my wife doesn't play DDO. It's nice to have hobbies away from each other. For me it's DDO... for her its Dance class. It gives us the much needed time appart. Of course I do hear it every once in a while when I am up till 2am for Guild Raid Night. :-)

[BLU3_FR0G]

What's this girlfriend thing you speak of and where can I buy one?

It's a super rare drop in unreleased content. They are never put up for roll when they drop but they aren't bound, so you might find one on the AH a month or so after heavy usage.

[timetorun177]

I heard you can buy em for the right price if you know where to find em but they expire after an hour.

[Aalric]

Hmm... learn something everyday.

Next time, instead of saying that I gtg due to wife agro, I'll simply say I have "wagro"

[Khellendros13]

My GF has more plat, and more scales, than I do. Her toons are also much hotter. Blue scale on both her FvS. Epic SoS on her Fighter.

[Dulcimerist]

My GF operates the computer mouse while I play DDO.

Oh wait... that's my hand.

Well, that explains all the "ninja" afks from you!!

[Zenako]

Meet them, marry them, make sure they get all the Hot Cocoa they want and life is all good....20+ years and happily counting....

[cdbd3rd]

I'll be your DDO lova'.

Hey, my wife games. She doesn't like MMOs... but she's a crazy-hot gamer chick. If you find anyone who shares your interests, hang on to em. If it's gaming, then be very happy for the double-blessing. :)

[Seihan]

I play DDO with my wife exclusively, either running duo or in weekly static groups. It's great to get my video game fix and still be sharing activities with my spouse.

Just last night we watched the Beowulf movie, pretty epic flick. In the begining Beowulf heard about the King's reward offered for killing Grendel and was arriving by boat. My wife said "Looks like he picked up the quest and is heading to the zone." lol

[Dozen_Black_Roses]

Well, that explains all the "ninja" afks from you!!

Sigh, no sadly all my afk's are truly me attending to children, and other life matters, nothing fun. Hence, why I said enjoy it while it lasts.

[Tendare]

Couples who play together Stay together.

My hubby is great, 17 years and counting.

[Kelavam]

Some of my strongest relationships have been with girls who share the gamer interest. There are far more of them out there than most people know about.

My wife and I game together, on and off the computer. 13 years and still going.

[Saiyren]

I'm female and I play way too much. Trust me, we get partner aggro from 3am raids as much as you do.

OMG I know the feeling! I know that women don't play as hard hard core as guys, we're moms too so it's harder for us to game 12 hours days like some guys. I'd like to see some guys take care of the kids for 12 hours to let the women game as long as we want.

That'd be my slice of heaven right there. Too bad single mom's have to do both so I game when he naps or is passed out for the night.

Personally, I like this one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVhwwFHGEFI) better. For those we know who are hard core gamers. Although I guess yours is more for pre-relationship and mine is during the relationship.

PFFT!
My GF logs more hours a week than I do. She and I fight like cats and dogs when we group together.

So, to keep things calm and smooth, she can find her own groups :D

Some of us dads do the child raising, so the wife plays more than I do. Course if I ever want her to "solo" me again, I'd better sing her praises as well. I met her playing PnP over 10 years ago, and we've been married over 8. Seriously, a hot chick who games is sooooo cool. And the fact that we can game together, or in different groups without the other getting mad is great. We BOTH realize how lucky we are to have found each other, and cherish it. Course she is the leader of our guild( she controls the money, and bought the charter first way back when) and most people are pleasantly surprised to hear her talk and bs with the guys. It makes me proud!

[Lessah]

I'm female and I play way too much. Trust me, we get partner aggro from 3am raids as much as you do.

My overall advice to the OP: Find a girl you like and convert her.

Man I just had to chime in on this one. As the female half of a gaming couple... I get more aggro than you might think. What irritates me is when I take a few days off and NOT play.... I still get aggro!!!

Him: "Why are you not playing DDO?"
Me: "But we have family visiting."
Him: "Whatver! Everyone knows you are a gaming addict! Now go play!"
Me: "I love it when you order me around."

Nothing but nothing makes me feel more guilty than being on a 2-day DDO bender where no one else seems to exist for me save my characters and my guildies and sleep is only being had because I'd DIE otherwise... and then I turn around (cause I heard a noise) and my man is doing dishes or laundry.... I am like. "Oh.. I SHOULD be doing that." Then I shrug and go back to DDO... cause it makes me happy! :D Laundry DOES NOT MAKE ME HAPPY!

So yeah.... find a gamer-chick and solve many of your Partner aggro issues, but you will pick up other issues, like the fact that she may ignore you for days at a time or even weeks when she first starts playing!
I hope this helps!
My work here is done!!!

[JohnWarlock]

My gf is cool, she tried out DDO only cause I play it. We had some stumbles and we don't always see eye to eye in certain things, but then I love that about her, she has her opinions and is not afraid to voice them and stand up for them. At least to me it makes her even hotter.

She does enjoy the game, doesn't play it as much as she would like, but there have been days when we are doing 5 even 6 back to back shroud runs; because she just loves that raid.

Being a gamer is not everything, couples need other pieces to work as a couple, but if the chemistry and emotions are there, and your gf plays video games... man more power to you.

[Llewndyn]

If my wife loves/plays DDO who's gonna make my dinner and handwash my undergarments? Not to mention if she can see me playing then that means my feet have nothing to rest on....

(for the record I am completely joking, my wife DOES love DDO because it keeps me from ruining her romance movies. Also, I am the one who usually cooks dinner (and by "cook", I mean "buy already prepared from Price Chopper and take the label off"))

[drewrayder]

I'd just bow to my knees and thank God almighty or whatever. What are you complaining about, exactly?

oh no complaints. :) was asking because she dont think its much. as a matter of fact shes surprised anyone cares about it. lol. i mean this woman is sexy. shes got a great body, great personality, great voice. shes loving. shes even an accomplished scientist. im very happy. wondered what others thought about the fact that a woman like that existed. lol.

[TheSavage]

I find it criminal that this post is three pages long, and nobody has posted this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urNyg1ftMIU) yet. :D

That was terrible. Seriously, can someone erase my memory of ever having watched that? Or, more specifically, having HEARD that.

Now, on topic... My gf plays DDO (though not so much right now because she's out of the country) and one of my jobs in the relationship is to "level up my elf" as she puts it... I keep telling her it's about playing the game and enjoying it while you do it, but it's like she just wants me to do all the grinding for her... *sigh* the things one does for love eh?

[kittikatgurl]

I met my guy on DDO and I love that he likes my passion for the game. For us, it's a way of spending time. He's still shocked that I get turned on on occasion when he talks about game (admitting its more the passion in his voice but hes amused nevertheless). We share plat, scales etcs, I like that, its fun. And yes, sometimes I get him to level my toon while I work, else I won't be able to keep up, and we can't party together anymore, where's the fun in that.

+1 totally!
That was awesome. I about fell off my chair from laughing so hard. I need to find me a guy that orders me around just like that for something I love to do. How'd you get yours?

[moops]

Awww.... and I thought that this was going to be a juicy gossipy thread with everyone saying who they think their DDO GF and BF are:)

[GreenGurgler]

Personally, I like this one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVhwwFHGEFI) better.

First off, you two both owe me a new pair of pants cus after watching those, I soiled mine. HILARIOUS!!

Second, I'v been married to an awesome women for over 18 years but unfortunately I have only ever gotten her to try DDO once for 20minutes and she has never been willing to try again. She also tried playing PnP for one session way back when we were dating and didn't run screaming from me yelling GEEK all the way. :D (but she never did play again).

That having been said, she has been great as a non gamer with my 'hobby'. In over 4 years in this game I think I have only ever gotten wagro once and that was the day the dessert came out and I got in a pug running chain the flames 1/2 hour before we were supposed to leave to go to her/our nieces birthday party. Ugly..... make sure you know your time limits hehe..

But, I feel uniquely positioned to say that my Wife has been a past DnD Dragonlance Calender Centerfold in 1992!!!!!!!!!!! Dragonlance 1992 (http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=601269&GSub=93392)

She is playing the role of Kitiara. I live in Wisconsin and back in 90' TSR was still located here in Lake Geneva. My friend (posing as Tas on the right) when asked what he would like to do for senior career day said he would like to meet with an artist at TSR. He was introduced to Fred Fields and posed for the cover of the 92' calendar as Strom (Sturm? has been so long I forget his name). He was asked to pose for another painting and if he knew any attractive women who could pose as Kit. HE mentioned my girlfriend at the time and we were invited to TSR to have her pose for the shot. She was suited up in armor and sword and photoed in several poses. We even got to visit Fred at his house in Greenfield (Milwaukee area) to view the near complete painting and my wife was snuck in to Gen Con to view the final painting (she got to wear Brom's badge to sneak her into the event).

So that's my wife (back when we were younger) and no she wasn't 'enhanced', I married a well endowed lady ;). So even though she doesn't play video games, she will pose near naked in armor for a painting (sooo **** hot) and that's got to count for something.

:)

[Talltale-Storyteller]

hell if she listened to you talk about ddo she would just simply get excited, even turned on.

This would disturb me, and my wife plays MMOs, just not DDO.

[Talltale-Storyteller]

It's a super rare drop in unreleased content. They are never put up for roll when they drop but they aren't bound, so you might find one on the AH a month or so after heavy usage.

They bind to character to when upgraded to "spouse" but can be made unbound at a stone of change for a very hefty price of half your loot.

I always find it funny when guys say they can't find any gamer girls, because I'm a gamer girl who can't find a gamer guy.

Well, actually I can, but they all play WoW. And that's a dealbreaker.

[Ungood]

My Wife and I play, in fact, we met while playing an online game.

Gamer Chicks rock!

[Yvonne_Blacksword]

I was a DDO girlfriend...or rather a girlfriend that was goaded into playing DDO.
I bought a fancy laptop thingamajigger.
I downloaded the game, I got a trial account, a year later we called it splits.

I played DDO for another year then branched out.

Burned up the laptop in 18 months and started building gaming computers for self, friends and family.

At my peak, I was OLG 80 hours a week and still working full time+( the plus is to try to explain that I am in the navy and 40hour work weeks do not exist, I can do 40hrs in less that 2 days, spend a week pulling 36 hr days (with 4 hour(ok...2 hr) naps in between and still find time to get 40 hrs in on the weekend...uh...lol.))

I now have time for work, family and noooo time for silly relationships...so if you are brave...and want to risk it...sure, I give DDO girl/boy friends two thumbs up... as a concept...for other people...lol!:p

call me undead because I am "life less"!:eek:

[sephiroth1084]

My girl is into FPS. It's pretty cool but I will trade her in for an MMO girl in a heartbeat if I get the chance.

Well, actually I can, but they all play WoW. And that's a dealbreaker.
My friends keep finding them, but I can't for the life of me.

WoW playing is also a semi-dealbreaker for me. I'm not even necessarily after someone into DDO, but gaming in general (Magic, Smash Bros., Call of Duty, D&D PnP, whatever).

Part of my problem, perhaps (at least in my case), is I also want someone of exceptional intelligence, and I find that a lot of people (not directed at anyone in particular) who play games are of rather average intellect, or limited in their worldly interests. Not necessarily stupid, but not invested in other intellectual pursuits a lot of the time.

That sounds kind of stupid, having written and now reread it...it's been my experience, but it just doesn't sound right.

I've met some girls who are bigger gamers than I am, and who enjoy fantasy and sci-fi lit, but don't really go beyond that into anything else; they aren't much interested in politics, or science, or nature, or psychology, or history, or...whatever. Maybe I'm too much the gamer-academic?

[kittikatgurl]

Hmm well I would hazard to guess Kittykatgurl and Drewrayder are but I could be wrong.

Well now you have to guess sir, who are we?

[Dulcimerist]

I wish someone would start a DDO dating service. :)

I just know that Miss Right is out there somewhere, but what if I'm on the wrong server and never get to meet her?

[drewrayder]

I wish someone would start a DDO dating service. :)

I just know that Miss Right is out there somewhere, but what if I'm on the wrong server and never get to meet her?

hmm...good idea. maybe then we can all find out how "**ed up" we all are in our own different ways and connect on that level! :)

seriously though. why not? like minded people starting to meet each other. i mean there are people out there that play a little bit. then there are people out there who play a ton like me and my girl. why not have a way for them to get together and meet and maybe see if it works or not? I am sure we can all find ways why it wouldn't work. but what if it did work? :)

[drewrayder]

I agree with one of the first replies: SS or it didn't happen. :)

kittykatgirl might send you to her face book sight. who knows. :)

[Ilindith]

I concur, all girls are men unless proven otherwise.

[drewrayder]

Soloartiste and Lainith, what do I win?

ill send you a black scale. :)

[JuntaLemea]

I wish my girlfriend liked to play video games, instead she pretty much gets upset if i'm playing for too long :(

[Previsible]

Not what he was saying. I get turned on by his voice tone, by the excitement and the passion in his voice. Just happens hes talking about DDO at the time. Shrug. What can I say. I get easily turned on.

That's not getting turned on by DDo, getting turned on by DDo would be more like...

Cosplaying as your character to get into the mood... or.... I just ran epic dragon and I can't go one more minute without having sex with you because this epic dragon was so hot.

I can already tell there are people who have never seen the WoW porn out there, I had one friend where him and his girlfriend had costumes and his GF was a Dranei in world of warcraft so she would paint herself blue and wear anal beads that had a tail on the end and they would get all hot and bothered role play style.

To me this is messed up and makes me think they're sexually traumatized or something.

Nep away.


its amazing how someone can just decide what is or isnt screwed up that makes a person get turned on. anyone who thinks they are some authority on the matter by deciding someone else is "**ed up* for being that way needs to go back to their therapist. that being said, my girl gets turned on because its ME talking about ddo. now its more clear. but then again...this is a woman telling everyone how its messed up that another woman is like that. we all have issues. thats just hers. i wont be her and decide why shes that way. ill just accept she is.

It's amazing how people think their opinions matter to me. You have your opinion, I have mine, and I don't care about yours. (Especially when it's extreemily misconstrued.)

http://www.minddisorders.com/Del-Fi/Fetishism.html

Causes and symptoms
Causes
The cause of the association between an object and sexual arousal may be adolescent curiosity or a random association between the object and feelings of sexual pleasure. A random association may be innocent or unappreciated for its sexual content when it initially occurs. For example, a male may enjoy the texture or tactile sensation of female undergarments or stockings. At first, the pleasurable sensation occurs randomly, and then, in time and with experience, the behavior of using female undergarments or stockings as part of sexual activity is reinforced, and the association between the garments and the sexual arousal is made. A person with a fetish may not be able to pinpoint exactly when his or her fetish began. A fetish may be related to activities associated with sexual abuse.

Welcome to being educated, when fetishism is listed as a mental disorder it tends to be classified as "****ed up" in slang terms.

I wasn't even calling your gf ****ed up because as you figured out from her statement she gets turned on by your excitement, your happiness or excitement is her sexual pleasure which is normal for a lot of females.

I think your particular post (and a few others) can be listed as trolling a thread and being an obnoxious, sour and rude person towards others for no reasons at all.

Go vent your frustrations somewhere else

@ Solo and Cassie - u guys are the nicest pair I have met on DDO until this day and I wish you guys all the best, may the feelings last for you, it's a great thing that you share love for each other and ddo...it's so....romantic :D

LOL I'm blunt, upfront and honest, if you don't like it take a pill and don't read my posts.

It's funny how people enjoy being lied to so much that they expect everyone to lie to make them feel special. Your friend here doesn't even know the true meaning of fetishism and you both post things (his being very personal) without thinking. If he didn't want someones opinion in his fantasies here he shouldn't have posted it in a public forum.

P.S. If you consider it to be trolling then there is a moderator and you can report my posts accordingly. But I assure you it's not trolling so there's not much that can be done about it other than messaging the mod. In the meantime you can stick to happy fluffy bunny land where all of the fake people come to tell eachother how wonderful they are and let the real people get back to their srs bsns, because I don't do fake.

No I don't like it and I can't post about it if I feel like it, also if there is a way to ignore someones posts in the forums please enlighten me i will happily do so with yours.

He wanted an opinion but I don't think he wanted to see his girlfriend being listed as "****ed up in the head"- point is there are some boundaries when you stop expressing your opinion politely, even if it's not what the OP would like to see, and you start being outright rude. I don't see anything bad in them sharing their feelings/concerns on the forums. People come here to make threads like "Hey i'm bk after X years of not playing" or many "thank you guildies/friends" threads etc.

And I don't need to T_T to the mod, my goal was to point something to you and others reading this thread/forum and I'm done.

I am neither refined nor elegant and I'm not about to change myself for some dude in the forums who doesn't understand that his friend made a personal post in a public forum.

There's nothing wrong with them sharing their feelings or concerns but they have to understand that people are going to say what they think and there's no way to filter that other than to look it over and pay no mind to it.

Instead you decide to come in and make a big deal of it when really your friend made his girlfriend sound sexually disturbed all on his own. (That would be MY opinion, which does not need to be fact but you assume that because it's said-- it's a fact and it's slanderous.) In addition if my BF had posted something like this about me in a public forum I would be infuriated (to say the least.)

There's ALSO nothing wrong with reporting to a mod either, that's why they're there.

People can miscontrue honesty for impudence all they want but the fact of the matter is that they just can't handle honesty, honesty is offensive to them. Someone speaking their mind is completely unheard of or something.

And an FYI, there is no way to block me, you just have to be strong enough mentally to skip over a post when you see someones name or to pay no mind to them. It's really not that hard to do.

[Dozen_Black_Roses]

No I don't like it and I can't post about it if I feel like it, also if there is a way to ignore someones posts in the forums please enlighten me i will happily do so with yours.

Go to User CP on the top middle of the screen here, and then on the next screen you will see Edit Ignore List on the left hand side. Plug in the person's forum name and hit submit and voila never have to see posts by a person you find as intolerable, idiotic, or vapid again, whatever the case may be.

Personally I try not to get personal on a public forums, there is one post in this thread by me that is unusally so, but as a rule of thumb I keep my personal business to myself and would have been very mad at my hub if he had posted similarly as the OP, but in their case they seem to both be happy with it, and while it did strike me a tad exhibistionist, it was not to the point I would give either a mental health diagnosis. To each their own, whatever turns your wagon wheels as lng as it doesn't harm or interfere with the lives of others. Think some people recently are a bit over sensitive and might want to look at their own actions before they accuse others of things, as their past postings reveal something else enitrely indeed.

[Previsible]

I haven't accused anyone of anything, I stated my opinion, they decided to take it personally as they would since they posted their personal details in the forums.

I never gave a "mental diagnosis" either.

I really do think that it's sad that people lack a firm grasp of the english language now-a-days though. It's hard to actually have a real conversation when no one knows the true meaning of the words that are being used.

I also don't go displaying my personal sexual antics in the forums seeing as this is a PG13 MMORPG forum and not the penthouse forum. Maybe for some, it's hard to tell the difference but really-- the thread began worded as a scenario and then became more than a scenario which is really no one else's business.

Thanks for the information though, now I know how to block people. Before I was just ignoring them like any sane person would do... I'll probably just continue doing it the way I have been anyways, but the information will most likely come in handy in the future.

P.S. My past postings reveal nothing about me other than that I care about myself and not random people on the internet. I meet people, they match my personality, or I like them and we get along and we talk. OR I see people acting mindless and I tell them what I think, they never like that and I never care because there are more important things in life.

[cdbd3rd]

... and then I turn around (cause I heard a noise) and my man is doing dishes or laundry.... I am like. "Oh.. I SHOULD be doing that." Then I shrug and go back to DDO... cause it makes me happy! :D Laundry DOES NOT MAKE ME HAPPY!

Clank doing dishes?!!??! SS verification required. :p (Hotbar misclicks can be hazardous to glass implements, after all.) ;)


So yeah.... find a gamer-chick and solve many of your Partner aggro issues, but you will pick up other issues, like the fact that she may ignore you for days at a time or even weeks when she first starts playing!
I hope this helps!
My work here is done!!!

Only days or weeks? Sweet! Beats the heck outta the years of being ignored I just got free of. ;)


CD expects proper brownie points for stepping AROUND that whole 'enjoying being ordered around' bit. :D

[cdbd3rd]

+1 totally!
That was awesome. I about fell off my chair from laughing so hard. I need to find me a guy that orders me around just like that for something I love to do. How'd you get yours?


Gen-Con is only 7 months away....

I hear there are a few gamer guys there. Prolly even a couple that like girls. ;)


:cool:

[Eladiun]

what would you guys say if you had a woman in your life that just loved ddo to death and loved you playing ddo? with her, without her. hell if she listened to you talk about ddo she would just simply get excited, even turned on. really this topic has me and a friend in debate on it and I wanted to hear guys and gals opinions on the matter.

I do. My girlfriend and I play together 30+ hours a week and co-run a large guild on Khyber. It is awesome. She is a great player and we have a lot of fun together. It is really cool to get girlfriend agro because I'm not in game yet. I'll tell you it is very nice to have a geek girl that I understands and that we share this hobby.

[Phidius]

Personally, I like this one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVhwwFHGEFI) better...

Where do I get the starter box?

[Eckenwiler]

Recently got my GF into DDO and it rocks! Now I don't have to stop playing to do stuff with her. We play 10-20 hrs a week together and I don't get any aggro if I played DDO instead of doing (insert any random chore here or sleeping, or eating, or whatever)

Here's what I did: Made a toon that looks like her. Gave it a cool name (not hers) but told her it was her. When she came home from work, or wherever, I told her all the cool things she did that day. "You cleared the kobold infestation in the Harbor...", "You found the Seal of Shan-To-Kor and kept the giants from destroying Stormreach...", "You set the shade of Delera to rest...","You jumped your ass off and got a complete set of +2 tomes in trade...".

8 months later she's playing as much as I am and is a bit dissapointed that I don't play "her" anymore. I tell her that as soon as we get our new toons to "her" level I'll play "her" again. That just gets her playing more.

Gamer girls rock!

Honestly, that is awesome. I wish I had thought about that with my wife. I finally got her to play, but it took a lot of effort. I am glad the complaining about my time is done though. +1 for a creative idea to get the significant other to play.

In other words, you don't have to open up your mouth. Move along there is nothing here you desire to see.


they never like that and I never care because there are more important things in life.
Still never found anything better? Because by posting like that you are showing that it is important enough to you in life.


Op, all I can say is that I hope it works out for you. Having things to do together makes a relationship a lot more fun, but don't be afraid to try out different games together to spice things up. ;)

"One wipe and it's glass bits everywhere!" Trust me CD, the fine China is safer in Clanky's steel gauntlets than duct taped into Lessah's stick-um coated hands. She has been known to be a bit of a bull in a China cabinet. (That's right, I said cabinet.)

Don't worry. I'm safe. I'm pretty sure she doesn't ever visit the forums or have anything to do with DDo. Well, except for her podcast and her guest appearances on other podcasts. She finally gave up running a couple guilds I think.

So yeah, Clanky got Lessah involved in DDo. It wasn't my initial plan to turn her into a full-time gamer chick, but it is working out pretty damned well. I tried an iterative approach. The steps were as follows:

Get her playing Neverwinter Nights (take advantage of her.....love of a good story and character development. Get her role-playing a little.)
Intoduce her to DDo as soon as it came out (She had a tiny bit of D&D experience when younger. She hated the interface swap from NWN to DDo at first--almost a deal breaker.)
Do most of the dishes. (I didn't plan that bit.)

She (and I think everyone else) has since surpassed me with dozens of characters across lots of servers. I now use her frequently.....to keep me better informed as to what is going on in the game. Clanky is smiling all the way to the back teeth. We lose about once glass a month.

Dude... c'mon... Does it matter? If your happy and she is happy, who the *%&$ cares.

The saying "A couple that plays together, stays together." has more than one meaning. ;)

EDIT:
Best wishes to both of you.

[drewrayder]

if you dont care about my opinion, great. if you dont care what i think, thats given right back. that being said...why post to my thread? a bit antisocial huh? see...you went on about how amazing people are that they have opinions that "matter" to you and all that. my opinion was directed at you...and everyone else in my thread. a bit egotistical to go on with how i need my opinion to matter to you. your noone to me. your noone i met, will meet or care about one way or another. to prove my point ill let you have the last word. seems you need to anyways.


That's not getting turned on by DDo, getting turned on by DDo would be more like...

Cosplaying as your character to get into the mood... or.... I just ran epic dragon and I can't go one more minute without having sex with you because this epic dragon was so hot.

I can already tell there are people who have never seen the WoW porn out there, I had one friend where him and his girlfriend had costumes and his GF was a Dranei in world of warcraft so she would paint herself blue and wear anal beads that had a tail on the end and they would get all hot and bothered role play style.

To me this is messed up and makes me think they're sexually traumatized or something.

Nep away.



It's amazing how people think their opinions matter to me. You have your opinion, I have mine, and I don't care about yours. (Especially when it's extreemily misconstrued.)

http://www.minddisorders.com/Del-Fi/Fetishism.html

Causes and symptoms
Causes
The cause of the association between an object and sexual arousal may be adolescent curiosity or a random association between the object and feelings of sexual pleasure. A random association may be innocent or unappreciated for its sexual content when it initially occurs. For example, a male may enjoy the texture or tactile sensation of female undergarments or stockings. At first, the pleasurable sensation occurs randomly, and then, in time and with experience, the behavior of using female undergarments or stockings as part of sexual activity is reinforced, and the association between the garments and the sexual arousal is made. A person with a fetish may not be able to pinpoint exactly when his or her fetish began. A fetish may be related to activities associated with sexual abuse.

Welcome to being educated, when fetishism is listed as a mental disorder it tends to be classified as "****ed up" in slang terms.

I wasn't even calling your gf ****ed up because as you figured out from her statement she gets turned on by your excitement, your happiness or excitement is her sexual pleasure which is normal for a lot of females.

EXCELLENT TIP!!! unlike others im exremely happy to use this. saves me from becomming so horribly traumatized from the evil sadistic people...lol. really though thanks. i like my gaming zen in a positive way. negative people who revel in misery just want others there.

[kittikatgurl]

For anyone curious, I knew Solo was making this thread before he posted it, and it was never something I minded. We found this romance on DDO, and it is something that is exciting to us and we are proud of each other. For those that know us in game, we have a tendency to make a little bit of spectacle of ourselves on occasion. That is our prerogative, and something we enjoy.

Part the reason for the thread was as solo said initially, i never thought of the fact that I love playing DDO as a big deal and hes been trying to convince me that it is.

[kittikatgurl]

awesome job brother. spoke my thoughts very well. yeah we have an awesome time. we will be doing star trek online and eve as well lol. :) maybe warhammeronline. :)

Hi Kiitikatgurl.

[Sir_Noob]

I had a DDO GF once, but in the end she just turned out to be a + 1 Curse Spewing Battle Axe.

[BansheeMalthus]

Just to reiterate, I've ran with both of you, by myself and with my wife. You've always been great to play with, and fun to chat to. We always thought that you were a couple, but never asked. We think it's great and wish you many years of happiness, even if you leave to another MMO. See you guys soon.

[timetorun177]

kittykatgirl might send you to her face book sight. who knows. :)

It takes about 20 seconds to find your characters facebook page, and from there, hers and yours. It isn't secret.

[katana_one]

Back when I was a teenager, me and my fellow D&D players used to think the idea of a female gamer was just the absolute coolest thing. We would marvel at the possibilities of having girlfriends who gamed (really, we just marveled at the possibilities of having girlfriends at all ;) ).

20 some years later, I am in a game group which actually has more female gamers than males - the DM's wife plays, the wife of another player plays, my girlfriend plays, and one of the DM's female neighbors plays. Four gals, three guys.

I wish I could tell my teenage self that playing D&D with girls is not as great as we thought it was. With all the table-talk about shoes, kittens, shopping, food, the latest viral YouTube video, etc. going on it's amazing we actually get any D&D into the session.

So, it's perfectly fine that my girlfriend doesn't want to play DDO - she's too busy playing Settlers of Catan Online anyway. :p

[Elucidus]

My wife Plays DDO with me, though not nearly as much as I. In fact, I often find myself soloing when she isn't in the mood to play. :D

[drewrayder]

SHHhhhhhh....its a deep dark secret....(you tell everyone....thats a nono....most people on here dont know what a computer is....shhhh...) :)

[Missing_Minds]

Part the reason for the thread was as solo said initially, i never thought of the fact that I love playing DDO as a big deal and hes been trying to convince me that it is.

Anything is a big issue, anything is a small issue. It all depends on how much weight/value you give to it personally.

example: some people give great weight on insults/being insulted. Such that it really riles them up. (and seriously, that was not a jab at anyone anywhere, it is just an example that most people would get.)

If DDO has that much meaning for you, so be it. My hope is that it is positive in its meaning and not a negative.

[Bladecutter563]

Does she have a sister?

[samthedagger]

My wife often plays playstation or Wii while I am playing DDO. She plays live D&D with me though. It even turns her on sometimes. She likes to "roleplay." It's a happy relationship.

[Elucidus]

Yeah my wife started playing PnP with me first, and we used to split our TV a couple of years back and each play a different game system side by side, usually RPGs of all sorts.

I have my first gamer girlfriend and its freakin awesome. I cant say as I'd want one plays the same games as me though. It adds a bit of variety that I play DDO and she plays the Wii. Now, if you could tell me how to get her to stop comparing DDO to WoW :eek: then I'm all ears :D

Another song that just pops into my head whenever I see this thread pop up - [LINK] (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrzvOEcizRo)

[Arysta]

I think of this song when I see this thread - http://youtu.be/_eJmYKN_1QE

I grew up in a gaming family (Mom still takes her DS with her to the doctor and other places where she knows she'd have to wait). My folks would devote whole weekends to gaming marathons, have the newest systems, etc.. That was family time growing up.

So I feel very lucky to have my husband (who's also a gamer). I don't know what I'd do if I was married to a man who didn't play.. It's our together time, weather we're in the same group or separate ones. We co lead our guild, and yes, DDO is a large topic of conversation in our home. Our 8 year old son loves to watch us play, help create characters, etc (I can't wait until he's old enough to join in).

To be honest, I'm pretty sure I play more than my husband does lol

And we met playing pen and paper (My brother was the DM) more than 10 years ago. It was actually his idea that I try DDO when it went free to play because I missed PnP so much (I tried WOW, CoH, and Everquest and didn't like them); fell in love with the DDO, went VIP and the rest, as they say, is history :)

Yep, I'm a gaming female..

[drewrayder]

awesome!! thats what im talking about. great for you guys!! i love meeting gaming couples. they are always such great people and its always good times. i think its because when they play together, they bring out the best in each other. and thank god we get to enjoy that aspect of them. yaaay!

[Catiriona]

All I can say that in The Harpers we have I think 4 or 5 couples that both play... and in addition to that 5+ women that are playing on their own. Women that love game are around..lol. I personally know many hardcore female gamers that play just as hard as the boys if not harder, so its not all about women being dragged along for the ride. :p

[TeyaBrosna]

Tons of gamer girls around here! I'm a gamer girl, as is my partner of three years. I grew up being a gamer in secret, since it was soooo uncool to be one. LOL I met my wife and was astonished to find that she'd grown up in a totally different world, one in which being a gamer was actually cool and mainstream. The key, I discovered, is the fact that her parents are also gamers. She grew up, like one poster said just recently, with family time meaning Play Station time or XBox time. They did other things as well, of course, but gaming was a big part of it. End result: gamer girl daughter.

So to all the awesome gamer couples out there, many of whom have already posted on this thread: raise your children around the games, please! I'm incredibly grateful to my mother- and father-in-law for having raised one. :)

[Nessa87]

That part about kids remids me of one guy I knew from different MMO. He used his 4-5 year old kids to do the easy boring grinding. That can be one advantage of

That part about kids remids me of one guy I knew from different MMO. He used his 4-5 year old kids to do the easy boring grinding. That can be one advantage of
having gamer kids ;)

My son gets bored easily and is constantly making new characters (early stages of altoholism???), so I always have someone I can group when I am leveling up a new character. Takes the boredom out of running harbor/marketplace for the nth time.

Hmm.... your boyfriend had better be careful then. That was what happened with me. My ex got me into playing and got bored etcs. There were a million other factors (http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?p=3540177#post3540177), but that aside, a guy on here stole my heart well and truly <3.

what would you guys say if you had a woman in your life that just loved ddo to death and loved you playing ddo? with her, without her. hell if she listened to you talk about ddo she would just simply get excited, even turned on. really this topic has me and a friend in debate on it and I wanted to hear guys and gals opinions on the matter.

I have a girlfriend who loves ddo. Almost too much. When I actually want to talk about her day or about work, she's too busy telling me what she's going to to in ddo.
She tells me her plans for her green steel crafting, about what quests she did and about what funny things happened to her. Meanwhile, I'm trying to tell her about something going on at work, like them laying off 35 people before the end of the month and worrying about my job. Oh no, that's not nearly as important as what ingredients she needs to complete her kopesh.

If she did get turned on, I probably wouldn't mind nearly as much, but I've never seen a girl get hot by talking about a +5 supreme greensteel kopesh of UBER AWESOMENESS!!!1!!11!0!!!

You should be careful. You know 80% of all girls on the internet are actually guys in disguise. it's a trap.

[morticianjohn]

My wife is more addicted to this game than I am.

[PookaWitch]

If you like DDO as much as she does, then I don't see why you're complaining.

You boys today have it too easy, roleplayer and gamer girls are a much more common sight these days. When I was a teenager I had refused to date guys if they weren't gamers (I'm talking dice & paper, D&D gamers here... before MMOrpgs) and oddly I had to fend myself from constant gamer/geek suitors due to it. O.o (I use 'geek' as a power word here, I'm a very proud geek girl. ;) )

And you know what, I married a gamer, and we're delightfully happy. We play MMORPGs side by side on our computers, or take the day off to roll dice and play some type of rpg. (In fact, I get ****y if we don't rp at least once every couple of weeks.) And you know what, we've been together for nearly 20 years now (including the years we dated before marriage) and are still very, very happy. In fact, I found that roleplaying helped our marriage out a lot. (We used to even own a games/comic/cards store together where many of the guys coming into the store couldn't believe that I was so into this stuff. lol )

If your girlfriend is really into the roleplaying part of DDO, try getting her into D&D, she may like it. And, if she does seem to excite her physically, like you said, and she really gets into her D&D characters... trust me, that leads to a good, healthy relationship. (Roleplaying characters in a romantic way can re-kindle the relationship between the two of you, because it's like that 'new love' feeling over and over again. ^_^ )

So if you like this girl, and you like D&D don't whine! Holy! Years ago I had guys telling me that they wanted to take up religion in thanks because a girl like me was actually INTO RPGs (and comics, and video games, and CCG, and sci-fi, and fantasy). Having something in common, and to such a degree is a blessing.

Honestly, I have a feeling that you're using complaining to subtlety brag that you most likely found a great catch. ;)

(ETA)
Just a little extra note: Gamer Girls get snatched up very quickly, it's a very, very rare thing to find a single one. ;)

Now when I was a teenager I did have a couple of girlfriends who would play but teenage romances seldom last, lol and then in the AF I round into a frew girls who would play but I think that was mainly out of boredom and being stuck in the barracks when the weather was to bad to go elsewhere.

[CanuckWench]

PFFT!
My GF logs more hours a week than I do. She and I fight like cats and dogs when we group together.

So, to keep things calm and smooth, she can find her own groups :D

You should get her to make a healer then you would have your own personal one and We won't have to heal you anymore ...... but then again ...... no don't do that .... we won't get +1 loot anymore

I met my wife, of almost 7 years, playing another Turbine product - AC2

She isn't quite as addicted to MMO's as I am; but she usually plays with me, and is always understanding.

Makes for a very nice combination.
